@ukic/canary-react

[Canary]: The UK Intelligence Community React UI Kit

The Intelligence Community Design System helps the United Kingdom's Intelligence Community (MI6, GCHQ, MI5, and partners) to quickly build powerful capabilities that are accessible and easy to use.

This is a joint project led by MI6, working with GCHQ, MI5 and HMGCC (our national security partner).

Installing

To install the components:

Step one

In the root of your project:

# using npm
npm install @ukic/canary-react @ukic/fonts

# using yarn
rm package-lock.json
yarn add @ukic/canary-react @ukic/fonts

Step two

To get the correct styling with the ICDS components, import the core CSS file.

Add the following into the top level CSS file for your project.

@import "@ukic/fonts/dist/fonts.css";
@import "@ukic/canary-react/dist/core/core.css";

In order to be rendered consistently across browsers and in line with modern standards, each of the ICDS components uses styles from a global CSS file based on Normalize.css.

If you would like to import these styles in order to apply them to the rest of your project and slotted elements used within any of the ICDS components, add the following into the top level CSS file as well.

@import "@ukic/canary-react/dist/core/normalize.css";

Step three

Import the component(s) in your React files.

import { IcComponent } from "@ukic/canary-react";

Step four

The @ukic/canary-react package will need to be transformed before you can use these components in Jest tests.

Add a transformIgnorePatterns field with the value ["/node_modules/(?!@ukic/canary-react)"] to your Jest config.

Typescript

If your project is making use of Typescript, you can import the custom types used in the ICDS component library. For details on the types implemented in each component, refer to the Props table on the Code page for each Component on the Design System Guidance site

Types can be imported from the @ukic/canary-web-components package as per the below example.

[!NOTE]
You do not have to install this package into your project, it is already installed as a dependency of @ukic/canary-react.

import { IcPaginationBarOptions } from '@ukic/canary-web-components';

let paginationConfig: IcPaginationBarOptions = {
  itemsPerPageOptions: [
    { label: "5", value: "5" },
    { label: "10", value: "10" },
  ],
  showItemsPerPageControl: true,
  selectedItemsPerPage: 5,
}
